This is the Oblique Asymptote if the degree of P(x) is exactly one more than the degree of the denominator Q(x). An oblique Asymptote is a line of the form y = mx + b where m â  0. To find Oblique Asymptote of a rational function, Step 1: Divide the numerator by the denominator using long division or synthetic division. Step 2: The result of division is a non-fractional part and a fractional part. The non-fractional part is the Oblique Asymptote.
Ancient Greece was a civilization belonging to a period of Greek history that lasted from the Archaic period of the 8th to 6th centuries BC to the end of antiquity (c. 600 AD).
The sharp rise in population at the start of the Archaic period led the settlement of new towns and the expansion of the older population centers within poleis. Increases in the population also led to the establishment of colonies along the Mediterranean and Black Sea coasts that began about 800 BC.
